Description

Get extra savings with my big bundle for the DNA Unit. Packed with engaging activities for Google Slides, fun Doodle Notes and Google Forms Quizzes to check progress, this bundle is an amazing addition to any curriculum.

Your students will LOVE the interactive nature of the Google Slides. The activities are varied and explained clearly, so students can work through them independently. All slides are custom illustrated so that the concepts shown are suitable for high school students. And you can choose how to assign the slides to students – as individual lessons, or you can use the whole unit digital interactive notebook.

Once students have completed their Google Slides, the Doodle Notes are a perfect review. These come in multiple versions, so you can easily differentiate for your students and grade levels. And to prep, all you need to do is print a class set of the notes!

Every lesson comes with a Google Forms Quiz to check student progress – these are self-grading, so there is no extra work for you.

My DNA Big Unit Bundle includes:

  • Student Google Slides Activities: engaging and interactive activities for every lesson – these are provided as both individual lessons (for teachers who wish to assign lessons one-by-one) or as a whole digital INB (for teachers who wish to assign the whole unit in one notebook) – choose the format that works best for you and your students
  • Answers: animated for going through with the whole class, or you can set them on Google Classroom for students to check and correct their own work
  • Google Forms Quizzes: 5 self-grading quizzes to let you easily check student progress. Questions are supported by images where suitable.
